Transit police from NSW and Victoria checked trains and buses from 10.30am to 4.30pm with a labrador sniffer dog in operation.
The dog named Bear uncovered two men and a woman with cannabis.
An Adelaide XPT passenger, 36, was found to have a long-bladed knife after a search sparked by his anti-social behaviour.
NSW police transport regional commander Sergeant Michael Chubb said the man would be fined.
